You know, Derek, that picture reminds me of my science teacher. One the projector everyday, he has up what we're doing that day and a crazy picture of an animal. Once it was a kitten with a lime on it's head. Yesterday, it was a beagle flying through the air. Today it was an upside-down picture of a cat lying on it's back on the floor, so it looked like the cat was lying on the ceiling.

@Kimberly- I thought there was something, but tried to ignore it. Personally, I like the thought that he just kind of watches over and is like a second father figure or something. It just didn't really seem like they were heavily insinuating that he really liked her, or at least to me.

@lego- Yes to the first two. Just a little uncertain as to the third. I'm dead tired right now and my mind is short-circuiting.

Hey Derek.... Just so you know I intend to take photos of my Skulduggery collection, which includes MUCH more than books, and I will post photos on my blog. And I don't know if you've heard yet, but we're having a picture of Skulduggery PRINTED onto the cake. Oh yes, we're just that obsessed. And at the party me (Valkyrie), as well as Amanda (China), Lizzy (Melissa), Signy (Desmond), and my little sisters Carissa and Jaida (Clarabelle and Madame Mist) will be attending!!!

Derek what's with the puppy? XD is it really so lonely that it needs to cling to a teddy bear? Or is it so you can hypnotise us so that way when you pay Sanguine to come after us we wouldn't suspect a thing? Is that what you're doing???

I hereby give The Great Derek Landy full permission to use these lines and incorporate them into his wonderful, wonderful story.

#1: When the man had screamed his final scream and breathed his final breath, Tanith Low laughed, pulled her sword out of his back and slid it into its scabbard.

#2: Bella fell from the impact of the blond woman's kick, guessing a few ribs were broken, then looked up through a curtain of dark hair and screamed as the woman's sword slashed Amanda's arm.

#3: Kill, slay, murder, slaughter, execute, destroy, exterminate, assassinate, massacre... Tanith Low's most recent acts could described in any of these ways.

#4: Tanith Low was a bad person, she certainly knew it, and it brought a smile to her lips.

#5: The two girls gasped from their hiding place as the Texan with no eyes and the young woman with the sword disappeared into the ground.

(Note: If you were to pick #2, Amanda would generally have red hair, but she says it's ORANGE. And I know I didn't say exactly what you told me to because I can't for certain reasons... But either way you have my permission, and you know you do, so just accept it. I improvised.)
